As a beauty blogger, I love to try new products every time I
can. However, there are some products that I have tried out and I know there
are almost irreplaceable because I have enjoyed them. You can almost classify
them as my HG (Holy Grail) products and they are the ones I call my Forever Repurchased. I will repurchase a product if I absolutely enjoyed it and I don’t
have any other product that provides the same results within the same price range.
Most of these products already have reviews (of course they do unless they
wouldn't make it to this list) and I will link them where relevant. Let’s jump
right in...

I doubt if I would ever stop repurchasing this eye brow
pencil because it is seriously amazing. I tried out the Makeup Revolution
version but it was not the same thing at all. The nib of this pencil is so
precise and narrow that it mimics your natural eyebrow hairs. I have gone
through at least 6-8 of these brow pencils and I have no regrets. I personally
think they are the closest dupe to the Anastasia Brow Wiz pencils. I think I may
even prefer them to the ABH because they are more affordable and easier to
find. The only downside is that there are only two shades: Blonde Shell and
Hot Chocolate.

I know, I know, I always mention this eyeliner every chance
I have but can you blame me? I have repurchased this countless times since
2012/13 and I don’t know if I would ever stop. It is one of the easiest liquid/felt tip eyeliners I have ever used and it lasts for a long time. It is an intense black
colour and it does not budge no matter how many times I rub my eyes. It’s just
perfect although I think I may be loving
the L’Oreal Super Star Eyeliner more than this as it has slightly more control. Anyway, time will tell which one steals the HG spot this year.

Collection Pressed Powder// £1.99// Link
I am pretty sure you may have seen this product pop up a couple of times on this blog and that's simply because it is amazing. This is not my first time trying out the Collection Pressed Powder but I only discovered the Translucent Powder this year. It is one of the best setting powders I have ever used and it has transformed many dewy or wet looking foundations into a demi matte/velvet finish. I am not a fan of dewy finishes so I am so pleased that this powder makes life so easy for me. It is translucent so it does not add any extra coverage or colour to your face; it just sets and mattifies. Its finely milled texture makes it so easy to dispense and blend. I just love it and had to repurchase a backup. I also use it to set my under eye concealers and it works really well. The best part is it only costs £1.99...if that's not a bargain, I don't know what is.

L.A. Girl Pro Concealers // Link // from $2.99 or £5.00 // Review
I have just accepted that I must always have at least one L.A. Girl Pro Concealer in my stash. They are just incredible and are even better than some high end concealers I have tried. The wide selection of shades makes it really a unique concealer especially one that is considered drug store. I currently have several backups of my favourite shades but the one I have finished is the shade Fawn. It is perfect for concealing my blemishes and it really holds up well. I have never liked the packaging but I am getting much better using it that I don't mind any more. They don't sell this in drug stores like Boots or Superdrug here in the UK but they sell them in some Hair and Beauty shops. I bought one of them from a store called Beauty Base in Westfield (although it was £5). However, majority of my stash were purchased from Beauty Joint where I can get it for a really cheap amount- $2.99

Revlon Colorstay Concealer // £6.99 // Link // Review
This is another concealer that I always repurchase and I think this may even be my third tube. I adore this concealer because it feel so light and blends in really well which is why I reserve it for under my eyes. It is one of the few concealers that does not crease on me at all and it brightens any dark circles. I just love everything about it. Whenever there is a 3 for 2 offer in Boots or Superdrug, I always stock up because it's just one concealer I know I would always reach for.

I showed this in my Empties Video and it’s just one toner I keep repurchasing. I can’t really pin point the exact change it has made to my skin but I just love it. I have used it for almost two years and repurchased it more times than I care to count. It is so affordable at less than £2 and it is forever on offer in Boots. I really like what Boots is doing with their Botanics range. If you are just getting into using toners, I suggest trying this out as it feels so gentle and it really helps keep the skin in tip top shape.

I tried out the Pixi Glow Tonic for the first time last year
and I was really impressed with it. I think it works best for people with
combination/oily skin who also have blemishes/pigmentation. I know it is not
everyone’s cup of tea but it is one product that I have seen sustained
improvements with. It contains Glyclolic Acid, Ginseng and Aloe Vera which work
together to keep the skin clear. Glycolic Acid, in particular, helps fade
hyper pigmentation and keeps the skin smooth. Of course, it does not happen
overnight but I have seen improvements in my skin's texture and tone over a few months. The best part is that it also helps
prevent acne/spots/pimples, etc and that’s one of the reasons why I repurchased
it. I just hate having to pay almost £5 for delivery which is why I waited until
I had a discount code. Pixi Beauty now have a loyalty scheme where you can
accrue points and spend them when you purchase products from their range. I
signed up to their newsletter and created an account (not a guest one like I
did the last time) and I got £3.50 worth of points which I took out from my purchase.#winning

Soap and Glory Rich and Famous Body Wash // £6.50 // Link // Review
I have a soft spot for Soap and Glory Body Care products and I have a little stash of some of my favourite products from their range here. There is something about the brand that just makes me want to check them out every time I am in Boots. The good thing is there is always one offer or the other and I always stock up. I had to repurchase the Soap and Glory Rich and Famous Body Wash after it finished because it is still my favourite everyday shower gel. It is all kinds of amazing and I love how my skin feels and smells after I shower. It has such an amazing fragrance and I highly recommend it.

Overall Thoughts
I am so pleased (obviously) with all my repurchases and I know I will repurchase them over again unless something drastic happens. I feel if I repurchase a product, it is a testament to how effective and amazing they are. There are so many wonderful products out there and alternatives to some favourites so if I ignore them all and go back to one I have used up, then it's pretty special. That's all folks. Have you repurchased any products lately?...xx+ Affiliate links used, read my full disclaimer here

i love the revlon and la girls concealers as well!! i wish I can get my hands on the pixi tonic... so many lovely reviews about it...I'll try the Soap and Glory body wash!!! Thanks for sharing! :D I think i'll do a post like this as well!

These concealers are also my absolute favs!! What a shame you can't get Pixi Glow Tonic, why is that though? The S&G Body Wash is definitely one to try and I would love to read your own version of this post...xx

Love the L.A. Girl Pro Concealer...rarely do you find efficient and extremely affordable in one tube. I'm addicted to my soap and glory hand lotion...been meaning to try more from them, definitely adding the brow filler to my list. Plus, now you're making me want to try the L'oreal liners. Sigh.

I know right!! I was so sceptical about trying it when I first heard about it but now I don't think there is anything at the same price that's so good. Soap and Glory are an amazing brand for skin care and brow products. Their foundation and concealers range is very limited (super annoying) but I still love them...xx P.S. Try L'Oreal Eyeliners and you would thank me for it...xx

It's such a shame Soap & Glory isn't available in my area.. But I'll certainly will have in mind to try this Revlon concealer - your review makes me want to try it, although I've never even considered buying it - I though it would be rather heavy and hard to blend..

If you'd like you could check out my new blog arabesque - I'd be honored ;)

Awww bless, that's an absolute shame!! They really need to expand their reach because they are such a lovely brand. You should definitely try the Revlon Concealer because it is really nice, light, easy to blend and does not crease. It does not provide a lot of coverage for blemishes per say (for me) but it is amazing as an under eye concealer and I have used it for a really long time...xx

I absolutely love their brow products and I am looking to try their mascaras and eyeliners because i have heard many good things about them. I actually like the Boots Botanics range and they are always on offer !! Thanks for stopping by...xx

I went through a period of a mini love-hate relationship with them but right now it's love all through. I doubt if there are any concealers with the same quality and price range as these babies. As you said, what more can a girl ask for? Thanks for stopping over....xx

Okay you've gave me even more things I want to buy haha! I want to try the Revlon concealer because I've heard so many good things about it! The Loreal liner sounds great, and I really want to try the Soap and Glory foamous body wash!! I went to buy it once and it was out of stock! Smells fabulous though xx

hahaha, I always feel the same way any time I read blogs *le sigh* but it's always nice to try new makeup. You really do need to try the Revlon Concealer because it is amazing especially as an under eye concealer. The S&G is on HG status for me and it's such a shame that it was out of stock (shows that it is really popular)....have you checked online though? Thanks for popping over here...xx
